Top 9 Caves カルマーでの

There was no troll to be seen

There are several small caves between the huge rocks piled up by the Ice Age

One of the many robber caves that can be found throughout Småland. If you're interested, I can recommend the "Lasse-Maja Grottan" near Järnforsen.

Nice little cave

Hiking recommendation. If you want to hike around the lake, I recommend going from the grotto back to the ski area (winter) or the mountain bike trails (summer) and continuing the circular route. I've attempted the climb myself. However, I advise against it unless you're sure-footed and experienced climbers. There's an increased risk of falling here. Furthermore, after the climb, you have to make your way through the undergrowth for another 100-200 meters before you reach the hiking trail again. I therefore don't recommend this direct route.

Beautiful little piece of earth! 👍🏻🤩

The cave itself is relatively small and rather unspectacular. The stories surrounding it, however, are not. Legend 1: Protection from the Danes During the Kalmar War in 1612, the village of Klövdala was burned down by the Danes. The inhabitants survived by fleeing and hiding in the Stora Lassa Kammare (Stora Lassa Chamber). Legend 2: Lars Molin the Thief The commoner Lars Molin (1785–1845) from Ramsberg undertook a series of robbery sprees throughout the country. He usually disguised himself as a woman (hence the name Lasse-Maja) and repeatedly evaded the authorities. During one of his raids, he is said to have found refuge in this very cave. This story, however, is doubtful, since according to historian Edvard Matz, the thief was never active in this area, but primarily in the Märlardalen region. In 1813, Lars Molin was caught stealing church silver from Järfälla Church. He was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment in Karlsten Fortress. After 22 years, he was pardoned. During his sentence, he wrote his memoir, "The Strange Adventures of Lasse-Maja."

Wonderful! 👍🏻
